Smith Creek Village at Silver Falls State Park
Tune Out to Tune In. No air-conditioning (you won’t need it in October). No television. Just the sound of wind in the trees and the laughter of people you love. Unplugged, unwind, and let the forest be your entertainment. Watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee. Tell stories by the fire. Played board games by lantern light. This is what connection looks like, off the grid, and fully present. There are tiny cabins that sleep two with a half bath (toilet and sink). Showers are located in a separate building and are shared with the other tiny cabin guests. Family cabins sleep up to 12 guests and have a combination of queen beds and twin beds. All of the family cabins - Elder, Blueberry, Cedar, and Dogwood - have two bathrooms. The family cabins also include a living room seating area, table and chairs, a front deck, wood-burning, stove, microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, board games, fans, and a cadet heater. The duplex cabins have two twin beds and a private bathroom, as well as coffee maker, microwave, mini fridge, board games, and a cadet heater.
